So that's their beef? He's a little slow on the mods to their cars and gets defensive about his company's reputation on public forums?

Well...in some of those people's defense...we are talking about some expensive cars and paying up front for modifications that cost more than the car itself. When you're throwing around that kind of money, you have certain expectations. That being said, issues like he had seem pretty par for the course when it comes to high performance shops like his...you can find similar stories for nearly every performance shop of a similar caliber. Especially on the forums. I don't agree with him selling/swapping parts off customers cars if that's all true though, that's kind of shitty. But, all of that was years ago...I haven't heard much bad about Hennessey recently...he runs a good shop and builds some awesome vehicles. The automotive world would be a lot more boring if not for him.

Everything else is completely new. There's no way in hell a Lotus Elise chassis could handle that much torque.

I know what you're saying, but when I said "body", I literally meant the body. Everything else is custom fab'd in house. It's n awesome car...not the supercar I would buy personally...but it's badass.
